It is very important to keep
in mind that borderline is not a "thing". They are humans behind the disorder
There is no borderline people
(even
if it is easiest to say this). No there are people suffering of a borderline
disorder
We can't resume a person
only to their behaviors.
Very often we ear family
or friend saying "This person destroy the family", no it is not this person
but the disorder.
They have feelings, joys,
pains and emotions (more than other peoples)
The main word could be EMPATHY
Family and friends should
try to put themselves in borderline shoes, because borderline behavior
(and
borderline feelings) are not much more than bizarre exaggerations of
normal behavior and feelings

Warning:
All the information
in this site is aimed at helping people understand a "rather particular"
and puzzling kind of disease
But more especially,
to support everyone affected by it, sick or not. In any case, it
is ESSENTIAL
to see a therapist who specialises in this
field they can confirm or give an alternative diagnosis
The name of what
you’ve got doesn’t matter so much, getting the right treatment for the
right patient does
